Everyone has had it happen. You find a new love. Maybe you are introduced by a friend, family member, or you meet randomly. Very rarely does the butterfly feeling last but for me, this time, it did. For nearly six years I gave the love as good as I got it. […]

Day 17 of no Xbox Live…srsly wtf
April 11th, 2008 · 3 Comments
There have been a couple developments in my struggle with Microsoft. A supervisor called yesterday, and I was excited. A random operator told me that when the supervisor called me, they would give me a code for a month card and I could simply put it in and have my Xbox Live account at gold […]

We’re through, Microsoft.

I talked to one of the operators for Xbox Live about 5 days ago. This woman told me that they had removed the month card from my account, and that I could simply reactivate it. I hung up, tried it, and no dice.
So I called yet again, on the very next day. It was a […]

And they say (b)romance is dead
April 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment
I have heard people say that romance is dead. Whenever I hear about romance being dead it usually has something to do with a fella not doing something. Opening doors, pouring her wine first, or something else. I am hear to tell you that while romance may be waning it is not […]
Rock Band gets “Still Alive” from Portal

K, great. That song was cool 3 months ago. Now, it makes me want to stab my earholes with paper clips/shish kabob skewers. Good job staying on the pulse of what’s cool, Harmonix.
The best part, however, is that this is free. High five, all 2 people that read this! We can all play together.

Oh God. They were supposed to give me the month back…never did…I probably got the refund, I don’t know. But yeah. This is turning into the fucking situation from hell, man. I don’t understand how they could fuck this up this badly.
*sigh*

Day 2 of no Xbox live: a development
March 28th, 2008 · No Comments
So a guy from Microsoft called me around 11 today for a terse conversation about my “mistakenly canceled” account. He confirmed all my info, my gamertag, and then told me they’d make up for the time I’d lost. My account isn’t active, still, but that was needlessly cryptic of him. Maybe they’ll send me something […]

Microsoft, I am beginning to hate you.
March 27th, 2008 · 3 Comments
I’d like to think I’ve been lucky when it came to Microsoft products. My PC got the service pack 1 for Vista Ultimate. Unreal Tournament III is running smoother than before. So is Team Fortress 2. But XBox Live is something we need to discuss here. Because I went through a pretty shitty experience this […]

Battlefield: Bad Company Beta Cont’d
March 27th, 2008 · No Comments
I played this beta some more. The destructible environments are seriously topnotch. Hiding in a building and having a tank knock a wall down is something I can only describe as fucking awesome.
The control scheme itself is a bit too much like Call of Duty 4. I know that shouldn’t be a big deal, but […]
Battlefield: Bad Company Beta

Sorry for the gigantic delay between posts. It’ll change, I swear. And not in the alcoholic, abusive father kind of way.
Josh and I have gotten access to the Bad Company Beta. My first impression about this delightful little muffin is that it needs way more time in the fucking oven. Infinity Ward’s gonna sue somebody, […]
